the 4th already??

our christmas card pic...
Olivia enjoying the toys for tots train and not happy to be giving away a Dora toy to this great cause. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy to give though....
a Williams Sonoma cake that i wish i had time to make....how cool is it really? it blows a gingerbread house way out of the water.....

and a Christmas gift i made for Dad.....one of many i am making this year. Its so fun to give something from the heart and use up scrappy supplies at the same time....
wow December is already flying by.

as i moved my little snowman calendar guy to today, the fourth, I am just shaking my head.

This year i am really trying to enjoy each moment of this Christmas. the good, the bad and even the ugly.

A BAD....the kids and i came down with a little bug and darn, its just no fun. After a trip to the doctor today, it was treat time though. A little shave ice always makes us feel a bit better and its the closest we get to snow here.
A GOOD.... i went to our little scrapbook stores Christmas party and got 50 % off my entire purchase!! I was so tickled.
happy 4th to you and yours

Gifts from the heart are the best, i say. There's so much more meaning to it. you go girl!

Dude. I think the bug is hitting the group. Haha. Not possible to catch it through the comp, but still a conspiracy :) Haha.

This year pretty much zipped right on by. Crazy, eh?

So love what you're making. I always have intentions to, but time... ohhhh, time. Haha.

That Christmas Card picture is perfect :)

I saw that train yesterday while I was in Williams Sonoma. They actually made it out of Rice Krispy Treats. Yum!

You all look so adorable!
